Kernal Updates

[FZR_Rider]

Does anyone know how to update the kernal in Ubuntu Server 9.04? I've tried apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade. It definitely updates some packages, but I'm still running on the .11 kernal. Is the latest kernal for the server edition the same as the desktop edition? Thank you!!

First find out what kernel you are running:

sudo uname -r

Then, find the available kernel images:

sudo apt-cache search kernel-image

Now, install the image you want to upgrade to:

sudo apt-get install kernel-image-x.x.x-xx

Good luck!

After you upgrade the kernel you need to reboot, unless you're using ksplice. If you never reboot after upgrading the kernel, the upgraded version won't take effect.
